Over
81,000 Cambodian youth have benefited from the five-year Improved Basic Education
in Cambodia (IBEC) project supported by the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID).
Under the
IBEC program, more than 81,000 Cambodian primary and secondary students
received better quality and access to basic education through school
improvement grants; development and testing of curricula; and training for
teachers, non-governmental organization staff members and government officials.
The IBEC program also provided scholarships to 7,500 primary school students
and 2,245 secondary school students. The Seventh grade completion rates for
students in the program were 85%, versus the national rate of 47%.
IBEC staff
worked with school officials to install 26 computer labs to give thousands of
students access to information and communication technology that support
education from 2014-2018 Education Strategic Plan. Since 1992, USAID has
invested approximately US$1 billion towards Cambodia’s development.
